It was all a dream

We've been eyeing this set of prints from Paper Jam Press for a while now and we finally ponied up and got one for our new NYC office.  Up to 38 in the series (of a targeted 40), these are the brainchild of Arianna Orland.  Are we a little biased because they're printed on Somerset?  Probably.  Would we have wanted a set even if it weren't?  Probably.

Maybe Arianna will let us choose the last two phrases...

Solis Business Cards on Colorplan

So maybe we're a little slow on the uptake.  This was posted last year but just caught our attention.  Gorgeous business cards for Israeli-based Solis printed by Generation Press on Colorplan Ebony 540gsm using embossing & foil stamping.  Between the subtle embossing and the thickness of the paper, these cards make an impression before you even look at them.

And if you haven't already, check out the new Colorplan website for a one-of-a-kind paper experience.

BLDG

Kentucky-based creative firm BLDG knocked one out of the park on a project for LIVESTRONG's annual report.  They hand pulled six-color screen prints on Coventry Rag as the covers (all 900 of them).

Since they can describe it a lot better than we can:

For the last 15 years, the LIVESTRONG Foundation has made the lives of people affected by cancer their priority, fighting with them to overcome the odds, the expectations and the disease. We were selected to create the organization’s 2012 annual report which would be used to showcase their impact and efforts in a new way.

Partnering with local advertising agency Proclamation, we designed an annual report that visually communicates the layered experience of having cancer. The visual story we created captures the emotional journey from diagnosis to treatment to friends and family support and LIVESTRONG‘s assistance.

Varied textures and patterns layered with complex questions and medical jargon signify the support as well as the uncertainties present throughout an experience that is often overwhelming.

The wash of yellow evokes a sense of optimism and connects to LIVESTRONG and their mission to instill strength, hope and guidance to both cancer patients and survivors.
